Using MITRE CALDERA

In this chapter, we are going to elaborate on our own adversary emulation plan and deploy it using the MITRE CALDERA framework, which was designed to perform "breach-and-simulation exercises and run autonomous red team engagements or automated incident responses."

CALDERA makes it easy for us to build a specific adversary with the characteristics we want so that we can deploy it in our environment and run our emulations. The first thing we need to understand about CALDERA is how it structures this information and what degrees of customization are possible. One of the best things about this framework is that it is flexible enough to allow you to build on top of it as much as you want.

CALDERA also allows you to automate the whole process, running it automatically, or to set up when you want the process to stop for you to make decisions instead of letting CALDERAS's machine learning algorithms make the decisions for you. You can learn more about...
